• DICK CHENEY INDICTED!! (Kinda)

  The long arm of Rio Grande Valley justice has reached out and nabbed....Dick Cheney? Yes, apparently. A grand jury has indicted the vice-president this afternoon. Hasn't the stature of limitations passed on "accidentally" shooting innocent bystanders? It turns out that it's not the shooting, it's all about Cheney's investment in a group that runs prisons (badly, it's claimed) in Texas. In other words, it sounds like one runaway, nutty grand jury. Which is something we never thought could exi

• Saturday: Dash Rip Rock at the Continental Club

  A sort of swampy Supersuckers, New Orleans trio Dash Rip Rock - whose last album Hee Haw Hell was the rather ambitious cowpunk retelling of Dante's Inferno - have returned to more earthly concerns on the new Country Grilfriend (Abitian). That means, according to the liner notes, "songs [that] will be played at every tail-gating, fish fry, frat house, boat launch and beach party throughout the South."Sounds about right. There are songs about cranking Kid Rock on the way to the lake ("Let the Truc

  Photos by John Moulder I'm always looking for good lyrics that make sense of the current military situation. I recently got Slaid Cleaves' fine new album, Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away, which contains this wonderful verse in the song "Hard to Believe": "Here comes another blown up kid from over there Makin' the whole world safe for the millionaires Same old swindle hides behind a fresh new coat of lies This is no time to be naïve, it's hard to believe.As we've mentioned a few times in

• Five Post-Political Careers As Bad As Appearing On Dancing With The Stars

  Most politicians, once their days in government service are over, go on to less public but nonetheless luractive careers in the private sector. They serve on corporate boards, become presidents of universities, or enjoy a quiet retirement. Sure, they can't all be Jimmy Carter, parlaying a lengthy political career into a rewarding life of philanthropy and humanitarian work, but most can at least write a memoir or two.And then there's Tom DeLay.Forced to resign after being indicted for conspiracy

Hopefully the latter will make you feel guilty enough to run right out and snatch one up. Seriously, we want the pics of the dogs who're still at the Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care to pull y
